The third meeting was attended by diplomats from 66 countries, as well as international organizations. In particular, delegations from Asia, Africa and Latin America joined the summit. The Ukrainian delegation to Malta was headed by the head of the Presidential Office, Andriy Ermak.
According to Ermak, preliminary consultations at the advisory level helped form a common vision of the prerequisites for the onset of peace and a secure post-war world order. Already during the meeting at the ambassadorial level, specific plans for the implementation of the points of the Peace Formula were developed, and international working groups were created that focused on technical issues.
What issues were considered
Attention was focused on five key points of the Peace Formula: “Nuclear and radiation safety”, “Food security”, “Energy security”, “Release of prisoners and deportees”, “Restoration of the territorial integrity of Ukraine and world order”.
Nuclear and radiation safety
Ukrainian Energy Minister German Galushchenko presented a nuclear safety plan, which aims to completely remove terrorists and civilians, as well as weapons and equipment from the territory of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. In particular, the transfer of control over the station to Ukraine.
“The plan provides for strengthening the role of the IAEA in monitoring compliance with the operating rules of nuclear installations, determining technical conditions for the safe return of the Zaporizhia NPP to the control of Ukraine, and studying the mechanisms of responsibility for failure to comply with the internationally recognized principle of nuclear safety,” adds the President’s Office.
Energy security
The participants also reviewed the plan for implementing the item on energy security, which provides for the development of a model of energy sustainability. The plan aims to prevent energy security breaches and any further aggression using energy as leverage.
Uninterrupted food supply
As a plan, Minister of Economy Yulia Sviridenko proposed strengthening the protection of Ukraine’s port and logistics infrastructure, ensuring the clearance of sea routes and providing support for insurance of ships, as well as cargo, etc.
Return of deported children, civilian hostages, prisoners of war
The action plan, which was presented by the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Dmitry Lubinets, provides for the creation of an international monitoring group and the definition of a mechanism for collecting information about deported children, civilian hostages and prisoners of war.
In particular, we are talking about gaining access to their place of detention, additional sanctions against Russia and pressure on terrorists to provide the UN and ICRC with unhindered access to Ukrainian prisoners, and the like.
Restoring the territorial integrity of Ukraine
“It aims to improve the existing mechanisms for implementing the basic principle of respect for territorial integrity and sovereignty enshrined in the UN Charter,” the press service writes.
To achieve the above goals, it is proposed to concentrate efforts on:
reform of the UN Security Council and limiting the right of veto; strengthening the role of the International Court of Justice of the United Nations by recognizing the compulsory jurisdiction of the court in all disputes regarding violations of the UN Charter and ensuring the immediate implementation of its decisions; creating an early warning system for actions that violate the sovereignty and territorial integrity of states.
Ukrainian peace formula
During a speech at the G20 summit in November 2022, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky proposed a peace formula to stop a full-scale Russian invasion.
It includes 10 points:
radiation and nuclear safety (withdrawal of the Russian Federation from the territory of the Zaporizhia NPP, renunciation of nuclear threats); food security (expansion of the grain initiative); energy security (protection of the energy infrastructure of Ukraine, limiting prices for energy resources in the Russian Federation); release of all prisoners and deportees (release according to the “all for all” formula); implementation of the UN Charter, restoration of territorial integrity and world order; withdrawal of Russian troops and cessation of hostilities (restoration of Ukrainian control over all sections of the state border with Russia); justice (creation of a special tribunal for the crime of Russian aggression against Ukraine); ecocide, the need for immediate protection of nature; avoidance of escalation (signing by allies of the Kyiv Security Compact agreement on security guarantees); recording the end of the war.
